Fb is the frequency you want the box tuned to........
Av is the cross-sectional area of the port (in square inches)........
Lv is the length of the port (in inches)..........
and Vb is the enlcosure's net volume (in cubic inches). http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/ports/index.html/

Are you jsut cutting a port into an existing box? or is that the max room you have to work with? if your cutting a port into the box it starts to get complicated... becasue the port volume subtracts from the total volume of the box......

so is this cutting a port into a box, or are you building a box with that being the max dimensions?

assuming .2ft^3 displacement for the sub, you can make a port that is 18.5 x 3 that is 15.71 inches long, and your box will be tuned to approx 33.23Hz
